Thats fine. Hes still stuck in Great Britain and wont be able to murder anyone elsewhere. The murderer no doubt is unable to live without the dole in some fashion whether it be council housing and foodstuffs or prison. He will be back at prison hat in hand asking to be let back in once he gets cold or hungry.

"If you're dying, but not dead, stomp once. If you're dead, obviously no stomps. And two stomps if you're not dead. Lemme just run through that again: If you're dying but not dead stomp just once. If you're dead, obviously you won't be stomping. And if you're not dead, give me two stomps."

spawn73:jtown: He's run away three times in the past and they let him out a fourth time? Normally, I don't root for the criminal but the morons who keep letting him out deserve every bit of trouble they get.

He's in an open prison, so he could actually just walk out of there without any permission.

Seems like they're in the process of releasing him. Though he doesn't seem like a good candidate to be released.

Not really. At least not according to an interview I saw with another former inmate at the prison where the Skull Cracker failed to return. He said things were pretty lax and people who didn't return on time weren't even disciplined, but you couldn't just walk out.

Open prisons in the UK have very minimal security. Perhaps it's correct to say you couldn't just walk out. You might have to hop a chain link fence instead. They are intended for non violent offenders & people who've served their term and are shortly due for release. Presumably they're seen as a form of rehabilitation - allowing the person the ability to leave the prison for short visits but providing some measure supervision. Kind of like a halfway house but still part of the prison system.

I suppose that means that even career criminals with swastika tattoos or nicknames like Skull Cracker will end up in there when their sentence is due up. I don't see it as a bad thing either. Look what happened in this case - these morons violated the very liberal regime of these places and will now get thrown back into prison, presumably for longer than if they had just behaved themselves.

It's still a pretty stupid way to run a prison.

I guess open prisons are different in the UK.

I disagree that its stupid. The idea with open prisons are that they're a gateway for reintroducing prisoners to society. You don't get to one, unless you're in the process of being released.

It`s a win-win. If you can`t behave with only a slight reduction in security then I sure as hell don`t want you in a pub near me getting drunk...

Dirty J1:We give murderers day passes? And multiple chances on them even when they violate their passes? If this isn't rock solid proof that our legal system is broken beyond repair i don't know what is.

Never mind, saw was in England. Lets hope America doesn't adopt this kind of thing. Let England be stupid all they want.

SC has a prison without a fence, because it's for prisoners getting close to being released, as in a couple months to go on their time. They are often trusted with keys to the prison van. I know, I used to play softball with a team from that jail, at an off site field, and no guards.

Once in a while, an idiot would run off from the jail, and earned himself a whole new felony. However, no one ever screamed close the jail. Of course mind you, not one of those run away inmates killed anybody, they just wanted to get some tail before they were formally allowed to.
